Introducing the URX Core75 - Our Most Feature Packed Keyboard Yet.

Hey everyone!

We’re finally launching the URX Core75, and with this keyboard, we wanted to do something a little different.

Instead of just making another wireless keyboard with the same feature list as everything else in the ₹4,000–₹5,000 range, we looked at the things that keyboards in this segment usually compromise on, miss completely, or advertise without fully implementing.

Then we spent extra time trying to do them properly.

The Core75 launches at ₹4,799, and with the 5% checkout discount, it comes down to just ₹4,559. Order before 10th July and receive a free URX Keychain!

Here’s what we focused on.

Full Open Source QMK, VIA and VIAL

Real QMK/VIA support is extremely rare in this budget.

And even among keyboards that advertise QMK/VIA support, there is another problem: many manufacturers do not provide the keyboard’s QMK source code.

That defeats a huge part of the purpose of using QMK in the first place.

Without the source code, users cannot properly modify the firmware, build their own features, experiment with QMK, or make full use of what the ecosystem offers.

So with the Core75, we made the firmware fully open source.

You get:

• Firmware based on QMK
• VIA support
• VIAL support
• Open-source firmware
• Per-key RGB configuration which many QMK/VIA keyboards lack
• SOCD on WASD

We are especially happy about VIAL support. VIAL is a more advanced and enthusiast focused alternative to VIA, but it is extremely rare to see it offered on mainstream keyboards, especially anywhere near this price.

On top of all this, the Core75 also works with our own URX Hub, which has been completely redesigned.

50+ RGB Effects with SignalRGB/OpenRGB Support

The Core75 has bright per-key RGB LEDs that we have pushed as far as possible through firmware tuning.

You get:

• 50+ built-in RGB effects
• Per-key RGB configuration
• SignalRGB support
• OpenRGB support
• PaletteFX effects

That gives the Core75 access to a much larger RGB ecosystem instead of limiting you to a handful of basic built-in animations.

The case itself is made from thick frosted translucent plastic, allowing the lighting to spread through the case and create a proper underglow effect when foams are removed.

We also deliberately went with north-facing LEDs.

For the Indian market, this makes a lot of sense because many users prefer top shine-through keycaps. North-facing LEDs allow those keycaps to light up properly, while also giving users more flexibility if they decide to change keycaps in the future.

Dual Mounting System: Gasket Mount + Top Mount

Gasket mount is becoming fairly common in this price segment. We went with a different option with Core75.

The Core75 supports both:

• Gasket Mount
• Top Mount

Top mount is usually seen on more enthusiast oriented custom keyboards.

It gives a more stable and controlled typing feel, with a more refined response compared to simply making the board as soft and flexible as possible.

Instead of forcing everyone into one mounting style, the Core75 lets you choose the feel you prefer.

Thick FR4 Plate

Most keyboards in this price range use PC plates.

We decided to use a thick 1.5 mm non-flex-cut FR4 plate instead.

FR4 costs more, but it gives the board a firmer, more consistent and more controlled typing feel.

Combined with the dual mount, this helps give the Core75 a more solid and refined character rather than an overly soft or hollow feel.

A Much Better Cable

Instead of including the usual thin braided cable, we went with something more premium.

The Core75 includes a thick cable with metal connectors, inspired by the look and feel of custom coiled cables.

It costs us more than a standard braided cable, but it makes a noticeable difference to the overall presentation and feel of the product.

Custom Pre Lubed Zen Switches

The Core75 uses custom switches developed in collaboration with CIDOO.

We tuned them for a deeper, thockier sound while also focusing on consistency across the board.

We wanted the stock typing experience to sound and feel good without requiring users to immediately replace the switches.

5-Layer Sound Dampening With a Thick Silicone Bottom

A lot of keyboards advertise multiple layers of sound dampening.

But the material used matters just as much as the number of layers.

Many keyboards in this segment mainly rely on PORON foam only.

The Core75 also uses a 5-layer dampening system, but the thick, dense silicone pad makes a difference.

Compared to lightweight foam, silicone adds more mass to the board, helps reduce unwanted case resonance and vibration, and contributes to a deeper, fuller sound.

Easier Disassembly

This is a small detail, but anyone who has opened enough keyboards knows how important it can be.

Many keyboards use aggressive clip-based construction.

The Core75 mainly uses screws, with only two side clips allowing for easier disassembly.

A Completely Redesigned URX HUB

Our web software has also been redesigned.

The Core75 will be supported through the new URX HUB, giving users a simpler way to configure the keyboard without installing software.

The updated HUB will go live within the next couple of days.

We have also redesigned the UI for the Core68 HE as part of the same update.

Full Specs, Images and Feature Explanations

There is a lot more to the Core75 than we can reasonably fit into one Reddit post.

So we have also made a dedicated wiki with more images, detailed explanations and additional information about the keyboard. We have also attached spec sheet in the images, feel free to read.

URX Core 68 HE is finally here and I want to be fully transparent about everything before we get into the details.

We have been quiet for the past few months because we were invested in R&D working on what is genuinely our first product. I owe you all an honest explanation for that silence and also for where URX started. When we launched, we were reselling boards sourced from brands like Ajazz and while those products were exclusive to us and they are of really good quality for the price, the experience they delivered reflected poorly on URX because the software was bad and the switches were not up to the standard our customers deserved. That hurt our reputation and I take full accountability for that chapter.

For Core68 HE we made a completely different decision and partnered with CIDOO strictly on the manufacturing side because they are one of the very few brands in China that own their factories and already produce keyboards for well known major brands. They handle the build and we handled everything else, meaning every component on this board was handpicked by us directly. We went down to the smallest details like the cable and the dust cover based on feedback we collected.

On the hardware side Core68 HE runs an ARM Cortex M4F Esports Grade MCU paired with a true 8000Hz polling rate and 128K Per Key Scan Rate which means the board is reading your inputs with an insanely high accuracy. The Rapid Trigger sensitivity goes down to 0.005mm, compared to the 0.01 for other keyboards in this price range. Global Scan rate is the value which matters and almost all keyboards skip on it because it's not a marketing number like Per Key Scan Rate/Channel rate, Core68 HE has 16K Global Scan rate while other keyboards in this price range have 8K Full Key Scan rate and many don't even advertise their Full Key scan rate, they only advertise the bigger number to attract people.

For aesthetics we went with Shine Through Double Shot PBT keycaps and Pre lubed URX Halo Mint Magnetic Switches feature transparent housings specifically so the RGB comes through as cleanly and evenly as possible, and the combination of the two looks great paired with 18 ARGB Effects and Audio Sync. The switch feels smooth due to the pre lubing and paired with the 5 layer Sound dampening Core68 sounds really good.

Build quality was another area where magnetic switch keyboards have historically cut corners and we did not want that with Core 68 HE so we built in five layer acoustic dampening alongside an aluminum positioning plate, and the result is a typing sound that actually feels premium and solid rather than hollow and cheap. The Double Shot PBT keycaps and Pre lubed switches give a really good sound.

I have attached Spec Sheet for anybody interested

Self Developed Software URX HUB

We also built our software from the scratch, URX HUB. All HE keyboards in this price range use the default OEM software which is often very clunky with bad UI/UX and buggy, and we think software is one of the most important aspects for any Hall Effect Keyboard. We made our own Software with extra features like Gamepad Emulation. It works as both a web driver and a fully offline standalone app so you are never dependent on a website being online, and it supports Adjustable Actuation, Rapid Trigger, MT, TGL, DKS, and Snap Tap natively, and has support for Per Key RGB and other features like macro etc.

There is also a demo mode, you can test it out without buying the keyboard. You can access it at hub.urx.co.in .

The feature I am most proud of is Gamepad Emulation and at this price point no other keyboard offers it, with the closest comparison being the Wooting which costs significantly more. It converts the keyboard into an analog Xbox controller input so instead of a binary keypress you get graduated analog values based on how deep you press each key, meaning you can accelerate gently, turn gradually, or walk instead of sprint exactly like a joystick or trigger on a controller would behave. For racing and open world players this is genuinely game changing. Currently it's only for Windows but we will be adding support for Linux in upcoming updates. The Web software has been tested on both MacOS and Linux.

One more thing before I wrap up: next month is the URX one year anniversary and we have something coming that I cannot say much about right now, but that product has a very specific feature which no other product in it's price range has.
